Embryogenic callus cultures were obtained upon repeated sub-culture of non-embryogenic callus from nodal segments of Cymbopogon martinii (Roxb.) Wats. Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 1mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.5 mg/l kinetin and Linsmaier and Skoog's medium supplemented with 2mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.4 mg/l kinetin were used as maintenance media for non-embryogenic and embryogenic cultures, respectively. Plant regeneration occurred through organogenesis in MS basal media containing 2 mg/l kinetin, 1 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine, 0.2 mg/l biotin, 0.2 mg/l Ca-pantothonate and 0.1 mg/l napthalene acetic acid. Embryogenesis was induced in LS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l kinetin, 0.5 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine and 0.1 mg/l 3-indole acetic acid. Plant regeneration at high frequency was recorded both through organogenesis and embryogenesis in different passages of long term callus cultures.
A simple protocol for in vitro mass multiplication of Rauvolfia tetraphylla (Apocynaceae) has been developed. The endophytic microflora was controlled by adopting integrated measures. Multiple shoot development was achieved on MS + Kin (0.1-0.2 mg/l) + BAP (0.4-0.5 mg/l) media. Rooting from in vitro shoots occurred on NAA containing media. In vitro flowering was induced in shoot multiplication media.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
